Ive had both. The S-04's are a good DD tire but the RE-11's are better high performance tires if you are a spirited driver. They have better grip and feel a bit stiffer in turns. Surprisingly they also perform well in the rain, something I didn't expect living in South West Florida.

If you're doing auto-cross the RE-11's will make a difference.

Are they worth it? I look at it this way. I bought a Z for it's performance and I sometimes like to push the car to edge of it's capabilities. The tires are critical factor here. Why would I want to compromise that? A couple of hundred is definitely worth it in my mind.

Good luck!
